The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In summer, St. Ebbes has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What affects the price in St. Ebbes
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
